A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of certain defense articles and services.
This bill (SJRES 53) prohibits a specific proposed foreign military sale to Saudi Arabia involving defense articles and services. It directly affects the U.S. government (which must block the sale) and Saudi Arabia (the intended recipient). The resolution targets a sale detailed in a December 7, 2023, Congressional Record notice, including items like GPS navigation systems, secure communications equipment, and intelligence sensors. It uses the congressional disapproval process under the Arms Export Control Act to stop the transaction. The bill does not create new policy but blocks this particular sale.
